President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko met with President of the Dutch Senate Ankie Broekers-Knol.

Poroshenko urged the Dutch lawmakers to take necessary decisions so that the Netherlands complete the ratification of the Association Agreement between Ukraine and the EU. He expressed confidence that the results of the April referendum in the Netherlands will not be an insurmountable obstacle here.

The president is also hopeful that the EU will not delay its decision to grant a visa-free regime to Ukrainian citizens.

"Ukraine has fulfilled all the necessary criteria," Petro Poroshenko said emphasizing that "the European side itself confirms this."
